@PijaniKlosar

No, just connect the CD/DVD drive it doesn't need any drivers because it is plug & play.

[MTLbigJ]

hey man...what about drivers after? did windows work fine by itself after? cuz i checked asus' website and no drivers are listed....

[Zelete]

Check description of video :)

Click that link and select Eee Family and then Eee PC's... then your model.

XP and Linux drivers available there.

[MTLbigJ]

whoops...sorry...i usually read the side descriptions..forgot this time lol...but thanks anyways....

[Zelete]

No you didn't forget hehe, I just edited it in :p

[MTLbigJ]

i knew it! lol....but uhh...is this still a goodpc....because i might be picking one up for 75 bucks (canadian)..i dont no if its worth it...u think its worth it? cuz im still using a pentium 3...getting alittle anoying

[Zelete]

Depends on what you're using it for I guess. I use mine for watching movies primarily. The keyboard is too small if you have to type much every day. 75 is not much though, fine price.

Also it's a Celeron processor which runs 900 MHz, so don't expect too much of this. 512 MB RAM which you can replace by 1 GB which I also done. And Intel Graphics, so no heavy gaming hehe. I got Warcraft 3 and Half-Life 1 to work good though. But no heavier games.

But movie playback I currently all I do :)

[TheBloodyMerk]

whered you get the ide to usb? amazon?

[Zelete]

Oh and people should also check out Puppy Linux, I'm running that on the PC in this video now, and its fast as lightning lol... since it uses your RAM to run the whole OS in.

Webbrowser, mediaplayer, etc etc all are in the package, 70 mb .iso file.

How do u set up da desktop cd drive to da laptop...i got all of dat stuff da u used to hook it up...i jst wana kno how...? i can send u a video of the set up i have...i have ide sata to usb wit a power adapter

[macboi09]

Hey im trying to hook up my old desktop cd drive to my laptop...im trying to kno the processes or steps of doing this...

[Zelete]

You need to buy a USB to IDE (flat cable for CD drive) so you can hook it up like in the video. Or you can use a USB CD drive if you have that. That cable can sometimes be handy if you have a PC without a CD drive somewhere you need to format/install :)

Then press ESC during boot on the Eee PC.

[beatyfulbabe818]

OMG i have been trying to find this out for yyearsss!

[anakinseviltwin]

youll need an IDE CD-rom drive, and an USB-to-IDE cable. googlt those. if you have an older computer that you dont use anymore, it most likley has one in it.

[AdrianMcCVideos]

Where do I get all this stuff!? I'm using my Eee PC Laptop now but it dosen't make any sense! My parents are wondering wherether to take it to somewhere like PC World to get it working but would be worried about the cost. So we're not sure whether to get all this stuff or just bring it to a PC Specialist. GIMME A HAND!!!

[paulkevin09]

The installation process seems to be messy because of the wires but i see that it is really fun. I wanna try that kind of installation because i want to deal with some complicated things like that.

[sunimunipuuhun33]

my asus eee will not boot from usb. I haw installed xp 3 times but it wont work. Now when i start the comp it shows the asus screen but then nothing happens. What can i do???? Please help

Sorry for my bad english

[Kin632]

can you install it on a 16-20GB SSD?

[Kin632]

nvm, xp needs 4GB to install

[Burnoutss]

i really stuffed up, im not sure what happend but, i installed xp and now it wont boot, even in safe mode. Then i try to reinstall xp and it comes up with a message that basically says

check to be sure that you have adequate space

Can i reformat or wipe the ssd? (its a 701 4g). Thanks

[SirPinguin]

with the linux version there should be a cd included with all the xp drivers

[mingime]

i have asus 1000h pc. can i install xp whit the same way

[ilovebatan]

i have an asus eee pc with 512mb ram and 2gb hd, can i install xp on it? i actually bought the eee for word documents only and i need to hook up a printer on it. since it came with a linux os i am having a hard time finding a compatible printer. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

[Yownanymous]

2GB isn't enough to run XP. And 512MB RAM?!? Asus just rip you off. Plus, what kind of printer are you trying to use? There's always a way of getting a seemingly windows-only printer to work in linux, they just say windows-only so Micro$oft can rip you off.

[combatcameraman]

Yes mate. Just download nLite for free (google it). It trims down the install and is easy to figure out. Then just follow the guides online using BartPE etc.. to make a USB Stick bootable and install from there. Be sure to remove unused languages etc...

[troxmorgan]

EEE Pc uses SD Cards right? But can windows xp be booted from SD cards? Cause i have alternate sd cards but no usb stick.

[combatcameraman]

Yes. SD Cards can be used. They're the same thing as a memory stick really. Can't be much more help though. I got rid of this thing ages ago. Not worth the money.

[jeonard1985]

my eee pc is linux version.can i install windows xp with no problem?

[Collatz88]

what eee pc do you have 701 4g?

[Dehax]

did u try to install vista with same way?

[Zelete]

No, because I have a EEE 700, it only has a 4 GB SSD drive. Vista won't fit on it unless you manually remove ALOT of stuff using the program vLite (for customizing the Vista DVD).

If you have a larger drive it's no problem though. Should work the same way as in the video.

[Dehax]

thanks im thinking about geting 1000HA and install vista i hope it will work fast

[DumitruDragos11]

Cool. Can i install windows xp from a USB memory flash disc ? is working ?

[Billmelbourne]

I have just installed XP on my Asus EEE 701 and it works perfectly. Send me a message and I'll send you the info I used.

[Imakemugglescool]

how did you do it please?

[Billmelbourne]

This video is as useful as a fly screen door on a submarine, or an ash tray on a motorbike.

I expected to learn how to do it.

[Zelete]

Click "more info", everything you need to know is there. Just get a cable like that and press ESC during the boot.

This is about an installation with such a cable, not about procedures on how to install via a bootable USB stick :)

[SanAndreasTelevision]

Thank you for this video, it answered my questions about installing XP without having a device built in the laptop... how much does this adapter cost?

[Zelete]

I think I paid about 15 € :)

[Billmelbourne]

You can buy that adapter on ebay for $28 Australian including postage.

[dchains]

ok so i can erace linux..and then install XP but i have a few questions..

Does doing this void the warrenty?

and installing Xp on the Eee pc is the same as ever other computer right?, theres no special thing i need to do because its a laptop correct?

thanks in advance

[GrandDanois]

I have an external CD/DVD USB drive, can i install Windows XP without any extra hacks, just like on a normal PC. It's the Linux version of the eee pc i'm thinking of.

[Zelete]

Yep, just plug it in and press ESC during the boot to select your CD drive :)

[20graffiti08]

hi just wondering if u have the shiity linux version can it be upgraded to up and how?

[Zelete]

Hey, I bought the Windows XP version, so I never had the chance to try the Linux (Xandros) version of the Eee PC.

I heard that you can download it though. And after you've written it to a CD the installation is done quite like in this video :)

[Jo6han]

Hi, nice vid, i have a question. does asus eee pc show any kind of internal or external dvd when you press esc and don't you need to press F2 and fix things????

[Zelete]

It only shows my IDE drive when it's connected (to USB) and when I press ESC. Don't need to do anything else or don't need to go into the BIOS at any stage.

Hope this helps :)

[Jo6han]

So can i use my old ide (dvd) drive without problems, thanks for the help
